This is the bulk of work implementing C++ bindings for the new libgpiod
API. The tests are not converted yet but the examples are fully
functional. More details in the cover letter as this patch will be
squashed with the one for the core C library anyway.

My apologies for not getting around to reviewing v2, so here is a
quick(??) review of v3...

I don't have any problems with the C API changes in patches 1 and 2.
I would prefer that we didn't need the num_lines, offsets and capacity
getters, but their addition is a reasonable compromise.

Perhaps throw something more specific than a logic_error?

Use of a map for just two event types seems like overkill.
Wouldn't an if-else in edge_event::get_type(void) be simpler and cleaner?
Also, as written, edge_event::get_type(void) can throw std::out_of_range
which doesn't seem right. Wouldn't std::range_error be more appropriate?
Or adding an unknown event type for failed mappings, so get_type() can
never throw??

Same applies for mappings throughout.  If the C++ values match the C
values then you could just perform a range check and cast for the cases
where there are more than two values.

I repeat my objection to get_line_info() accepting a watch parameter and
watch_line_info() wrapping it.  While they both happen to return
line_info, the purpose of the two methods are quite different and so
should be kept separate.

Also, should be watch_line_info() really be allowed on a const chip?
While it does not alter the C++ object, and so technically can be allowed
on a const, it does alter the state of the underlying C object and so I
would argue it should not be allowed.

A getter not prefixed with "get_" ;-).

class line_info)

This class has setters but no getters.
There is no use case for getters?
Also applies to C API - just wondering given the addition of the getters
in patch 1 and 2 - there may be cases where the user would like to read
back the config?

line_info and line_config should use common direction types (also
applies to C API)? Perhaps in a ::gpiod::line namespace?

Same applies to other fields that map to GPIO_V2_LINE_FLAGs, so edge,
drive, bias and event clock.
Oh, and the C API lacks a gpiod_line_info_get_event_clock(), and not
surprisingly class line_info lacks a getter for event clock.

Setters should not be const.
While your implementation may allow it now, conceptually it is wrong.
And what happens if your implementation changes later?
Removing the const later would break ABI compatibility.

This applies throughout.

And as previously noted, I'd like to see the line_info and line_config
use common types.

And I agree with Jack Winch on not prefixing getters with "get_".
The only thing I would change from Jack's suggestion is to put the types
in the line namespace so rather than his

    using direction_type = ::gpiod::direction;

I would have

    using direction_type = ::gpiod::line::direction;

- if you want to use an alias at all.

The types are used relatively rarely, so I'm no fussed if their names
are a bit clunky.  OTOH getters are frequently used and I much prefer
the shorter form.

Where you have an "enum class type" that would conflict with a type()
getter, such as in info_event and edge_event, I would rename the enum to
event_type, or similar.

That applies throughout.

Wrt setters, I'm happy with them being prefixed with "set_" so they are
clearly distinguished from getters.

This can throw ::std::out_of_range, which set_mapped_value() should catch
and re-throw as ::std::invalid_argument.

The use of templating means mapping using ::std::map in this direction
makes more sense than the reverse in the other modules, but I'm still not
a fan.

Throw a more specific exception, rather than a generic logic_error.

Hopefully I haven't snipped out too much...

There's no standard exception that would inherit from std::logic_error
that would fit here. I can define new exceptions (gpiod::chip_closed
and gpiod::request_released) inheriting from logic_error if that works
for you.

While it's true that we can throw the range_error, it's very unlikely
and would occur only if a serious programming error was present in the
C library or the kernel. I'm fine with this possibility - adding an
unknown type, would suggest this is a normal situation and not an
exception.

For the mapping: to me this looks more consistent and also allows to
detect the rare and unlikely error mentioned above. In any case - this
is an implementation detail and can be changed later.

Casting in general is to be avoided in C++ - as defined in the
document Jack linked recently. Mapping isn't expensive and looks more
robust IMO. I would prefer to leave it like this.

IMO if a use-case like this appears, we can extend the interface. The
reason for adding the new functions was because we added the all-lines
getters and now the user would need to store the offsets outside the
request if we didn't provide them. Adding getters for config
structures now would unnecessarily bloat the interface. Let me know if
you disagree though. I usually eventually get convinced by you. :)

So that would seem obvious to do this but the values stored in line
info and passed to line config are not always the same. BIAS_UNKNOWN
and BIAS_AS_IS are not the same and the former is only suitable for
line_info while the latter only works for the config. I agree though
that it may be a bit confusing for users. If we'd change it - where
should these go wrt doxygen sections of the core API?

Yeah I noticed that and already have a patch for that in my dev branch
for python bindings. I'll post it shortly.

I think we'll be able to skip the aliases with the additional line namespace.

No - you will currently throw ::std::out_of_range, which is weird.
I'd be ok with ::std::range_error, but that would involve a catch
and re-throw.

And it could also happen if the kernel adds new event types that this
version of the library is unaware of.
While that isn't terribly likely, don't box yourself in.

Fair enough.
That suggestion was coming from "a simple getter shouldn't throw" PoV,
btw.

If casting is so frowned upon then why have they defined so many types
of casts?  I thought the trick was to pick the right one ;-).
And we are only talking about casting between int enums here, so
really...

Agreed keep the interface minimal and easy enough to add later if the need
arises.  Just throwing it out there in case there are use cases I've
overlooked.

Sure they are distinct - so give them different values in the C API.
line_info will never return BIAS_AS_IS, and line_config will reject
setting BIAS_UNKNOWN.  So document that.

On a related note, the C API should have a GPIOD_LINE_CONFIG_BIAS_AS_IS,
and that should be the default - as it is in the kernel.
GPIOD_LINE_CONFIG_BIAS_DISABLED is actively disabling bias, which is a
different thing.
Or are you intending for libgpiod to always actively specify bias?

You would think that doxygen should be subservient to the code, not the
other way around :-|.

Given I'm suggesting the GPIOD_LINE_CONFIG_xxx enums get folded into
the GPIOD_LINE_xxx enums, they would end up wherever those are?

Kent.
